The statistical design adopted for experiment was randomized block design (RBD) with three replications and seven treatments. Bulbs were planted at 15 days interval from 15^th October 2017 to 15^th January 2018 and observations were recorded. The observations recorded for vegetative growth in terms of plant height and number of leaves, emergence of primary and secondary flower stalk, as regards to reproductive parameters, maximum umbel diameter and number of umbels, yield parameters viz. number of seeds per plant, yield per plant, yield per plot and yield per hectare, seed quality in terms of test weight, germination per cent and graded seed yield. The results of present investigation revealed that, bulbs were planted during second week of November were found to be superior for the above studied parameters.
